請參照圖4，為根據本發明另一實施例之顯示裝置的俯視示意圖。Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a top plan view of a display device according to another embodiment of the present invention.
如圖4所示，本實施例提供一顯示裝置400，其包含一三角形顯示面板410、一驅動模組420以及一連接器430。As shown in FIG. 4 , the display device 400 includes a triangular display panel 410 , a driving module 420 , and a connector 430 .
三角形顯示面板410包含一三角形基板412、多個資料線DL、多個閘極線GL以及多個像素P。資料線DL與閘極線GL排列於三角形基板412。像素P設置於三角形基板412而形成像素陣列。這些像素P可排列成三角形形狀。三角形基板412具有三個側表面，其分別構成三角形基板412的一第一側412a、一第二側412b以及一第三側413c。三角形基板412更具有一第一端A、一第二端B以及一第三端C。三角形顯示面板410可被區分出用於顯示影像的一主動區A/A以及不會有影像顯示的一非主動區N/A，其中各種類型的訊號線與驅動模組420係排列於非主動區N/A內。The triangular display panel 410 includes a triangular substrate 412, a plurality of data lines DL, a plurality of gate lines GL, and a plurality of pixels P. The data line DL and the gate line GL are arranged on the triangular substrate 412. The pixel P is disposed on the triangular substrate 412 to form a pixel array. These pixels P can be arranged in a triangular shape. The triangular substrate 412 has three side surfaces that respectively define a first side 412a, a second side 412b, and a third side 413c of the triangular substrate 412.

The display element is, for example, a light-emitting diode or a liquid crystal cell, and the circuit element is, for example, a storage capacitor.
構成每個像素之電路元件的的類型與數量可根據需要提供的功能或設計方法做變更。The type and number of circuit elements constituting each pixel can be changed depending on the function or design method that needs to be provided.
驅動模組420可包含一資料驅動器422以及一閘極驅動器424。資料驅動器422適於提供資料電壓給該些資料線DL，並且閘極驅動器424適於依序提供閘極訊號給該些閘極線GL以依序驅動該些閘極線GL。The driving module 420 can include a data driver 422 and a gate driver 424. The data driver 422 is adapted to provide a data voltage to the data lines DL, and the gate driver 424 is adapted to sequentially provide gate signals to the gate lines GL for sequentially driving the gate lines GL.
資料驅動器422可經由捲帶式自動接合技術連接於三角形顯示面板410。資料驅動器422可裝設一捲帶式承載封裝(Tape Carrier Package，TCP)元件，或是經由覆晶接合技術裝設於三角形顯示面板410。以下示例性說明的資料驅動器422能自外部電路通過形成於印刷電路板上的訊號線輸入控制訊號與驅動電壓，並且印刷電路板連接於捲帶式承載封裝元件與訊號線。The data driver 422 can be coupled to the triangular display panel 410 via a tape automated bonding technique. The data driver 422 can be provided with a Tape Carrier Package (TCP) component or can be mounted on the triangular display panel 410 via a flip chip bonding technique. The data driver 422 exemplified below can input a control signal and a driving voltage from an external circuit through a signal line formed on the printed circuit board, and the printed circuit board is connected to the tape carrier package component and the signal line.
閘極驅動器424可經由捲帶式自動接合技術或覆晶接合技術連接於三角形顯示面板110的一接合墊；或者，閘極驅動器424可採用板內建閘極(Gate In Panel，GIP)的形式實現直接設置於三角形顯示面板410。在部分實施例中，閘極驅動器424還可整合於三角形顯示面板410中。The gate driver 424 can be connected to a bonding pad of the triangular display panel 110 via a tape automated bonding technique or a flip chip bonding technique; or the gate driver 424 can be in the form of a Gate In Panel (GIP). The implementation is directly disposed on the triangular display panel 410. In some embodiments, the gate driver 424 can also be integrated into the triangular display panel 410.
以下採用板內建閘極為例實現說明閘極驅動器424直接設置於三角形顯示面板410。閘極驅動器424可自多個板內建閘極通過排列於三角形顯示面板410上的多條閘極線GL依序提供閘極訊號。In the following, the gate driver 424 is directly disposed on the triangular display panel 410. The gate driver 424 can sequentially provide the gate signals from the plurality of gates built in the plurality of gates through the plurality of gate lines GL arranged on the triangular display panel 410.
閘極驅動器424可正向或反向提供閘極訊號通過這些閘極線GL。如圖2與圖4所示，在本實施例中，所述正向提供閘極訊號，係指將閘極訊號提供給靠近第一側412a的閘極線GL，接著提供給遠離第一側412a的閘極線GL。所述反向提供閘極訊號，係指將閘極訊號提供給遠離第一側412a的閘極線GL，接著提供給靠近第一側412a的閘極線GL。Gate driver 424 can provide gate signals through these gate lines GL in either forward or reverse directions. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, in the embodiment, the forward providing gate signal means that the gate signal is provided to the gate line GL near the first side 412a, and then provided to the first side away from the first side. Gate line GL of 412a. The reverse providing the gate signal means that the gate signal is supplied to the gate line GL away from the first side 412a, and then to the gate line GL near the first side 412a.
如圖2和圖4所示，可由多個顯示裝置400想組裝而構成圖2的多屏顯示裝置200，並且每個顯示裝置400係作為一個多屏顯示裝置200的顯示單元。兩個三角形形狀的顯示裝置400以反方向排列而可依序分別以正向和反向方式提供閘極訊號，使得多屏顯示裝置200整體上可沿同一方向依序提供閘極訊號。在多屏顯示裝置200中，反方向排列的兩個三角形形狀的顯示裝置400可依序提供同一方向的閘極訊號(意即，一個反向提供閘極訊號，另一個正向提供閘極訊號)，而使多屏顯示裝置200對於各別顯示單元依序以不同方向提供閘極訊號。As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the multi-display device 200 of FIG. 2 can be constructed by a plurality of display devices 400, and each display device 400 serves as a display unit of a multi-screen display device 200. The two triangular-shaped display devices 400 are arranged in the reverse direction to sequentially provide the gate signals in the forward and reverse directions, so that the multi-screen display device 200 can sequentially provide the gate signals in the same direction. In the multi-display device 200, two triangular-shaped display devices 400 arranged in opposite directions can sequentially provide gate signals in the same direction (that is, one reverse-providing gate signal and the other forward-providing gate signal) And the multi-screen display device 200 sequentially supplies the gate signals in different directions for the respective display units.
多條資料線DL自三角形基板412的第一側412a沿一第一方向排列；換句話說，這些資料線DL自三角形基板412的第一側412a沿第一方向延伸至三角形基板412的第二側412b或第三側412c。在本實施例中，這些資料線DL的長度自第一側412a的一第一端A朝向第一側412a的一第二端B逐漸增加接著再逐漸減少。換句話說，位於三角形基板412之中央區域的資料線DL具有最大長度，並且位於三角形基板412的外周邊區域之相對二側的其中二條資料線DL具有最小長度。因此，資料線DL的長度自中央區域至外周邊區域之相對二側逐漸減少。The plurality of data lines DL are arranged in a first direction from the first side 412a of the triangular substrate 412; in other words, the data lines DL extend from the first side 412a of the triangular substrate 412 in the first direction to the second of the triangular substrate 412. Side 412b or third side 412c. In this embodiment, the length of the data lines DL gradually increases from a first end A of the first side 412a toward a second end B of the first side 412a and then gradually decreases. In other words, the data line DL located at the central portion of the triangular substrate 412 has the largest length, and two of the data lines DL located on the opposite sides of the outer peripheral region of the triangular substrate 412 have the smallest length. Therefore, the length of the data line DL gradually decreases from the central area to the opposite sides of the outer peripheral area.
多條閘極線GL沿著一第二方向排列於三角形基板412的第二側412b與第三側412c之間。這些閘極線GL的長度自第一端A至第二側412b的一第三端C逐漸減少。The plurality of gate lines GL are arranged between the second side 412b and the third side 412c of the triangular substrate 412 along a second direction. The length of these gate lines GL gradually decreases from the first end A to a third end C of the second side 412b.
如圖4所示，像素P設置於沿著第一方向排列的資料線DL與沿著第二方向排列的閘極線GL相交所圍出的區域內。位於顯示面板410之主動區A/A並且鄰近第一側412a的多個像素P沿著同樣位於第一側412a的資料驅動器422排列，並且像素P的排列方向平行於資料驅動器422。當閘極線GL的長度自第一端A至第三端C逐漸減少，則排列於主動區A/A的像素P之數量也自第一端A遠離資料驅動器422至第三端C按比例逐漸減少。As shown in FIG. 4, the pixel P is disposed in a region surrounded by the data line DL arranged along the first direction and the gate line GL arranged along the second direction. A plurality of pixels P located in the active area A/A of the display panel 410 and adjacent to the first side 412a are arranged along the data driver 422 also located on the first side 412a, and the arrangement direction of the pixels P is parallel to the data drive 422. When the length of the gate line GL gradually decreases from the first end A to the third end C, the number of pixels P arranged in the active area A/A is also proportional to the distance from the first end A away from the data driver 422 to the third end C. gradually decreases.
這些資料線DL與這些閘極線GL彼此相交而形成三角形陣列，並且像素P設置於資料線DL與閘極線GL相交所圍出的區域內。因此，這些像素P會在三角形基板412上排列出三角形形狀。當這些像素P會在三角形基板412上排列出三角形形狀時，係意味著這些像素P不一定會排列出符合數學定義上所謂的完整三角形，但會排列出整體上看起來近似三角形的形狀。These data lines DL and these gate lines GL intersect each other to form a triangular array, and the pixels P are disposed in a region surrounded by the intersection of the data lines DL and the gate lines GL. Therefore, these pixels P are arranged in a triangular shape on the triangular substrate 412. When these pixels P are arranged in a triangular shape on the triangular substrate 412, it means that these pixels P are not necessarily arranged in a so-called complete triangle in accordance with the mathematical definition, but a shape which looks like a triangle as a whole is arranged.
圖5A為圖4之顯示裝置之區域X的局部放大示意圖，其中繪示位於基板之非主動區中的閘極驅動器與不同類型之接線之間的排列配置。圖5B為圖5A之顯示裝置中像素與板內建閘極排列配置的示意圖。5A is a partial enlarged view of a region X of the display device of FIG. 4, showing the arrangement of the gate drivers in the inactive regions of the substrate and the different types of wires. FIG. 5B is a schematic diagram showing the arrangement of pixels and plates built-in gates in the display device of FIG. 5A.
一併參照圖4、圖5A與圖5B，閘極驅動器424可包含排列於顯示面板410之非主動區N/A的多個板內建閘極GIP。這些板內建閘極GIP排列於非主動區N/A，並且板內建閘極GIP的排列方向平行於三角形基板412的第二側412b或第三側412c。Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B together, the gate driver 424 may include a plurality of on-board gates GIP arranged in the inactive area N/A of the display panel 410. These board built-in gate GIPs are arranged in the inactive area N/A, and the board built-in gate GIPs are arranged in a direction parallel to the second side 412b or the third side 412c of the triangular substrate 412.
另一方面，這些排列於非主動區N/A的板內建閘極GIP之排列方向也可同時平行於三角形基板412的第二側412b與第三側412c。換句話說，位於這些閘極線GL之一側的其中多個板內建閘極GIP與位於閘極線GL之相對另一側的另外多個板內建閘極GIP可沿相反方向排列。上述其中一側或兩側的的板內建閘極GIP可經由閘極線GL輸送閘極訊號。On the other hand, the arrangement direction of the in-board gate GIPs arranged in the inactive area N/A can also be parallel to the second side 412b and the third side 412c of the triangular substrate 412 at the same time. In other words, a plurality of board built-in gates GIP located on one side of the gate lines GL and a plurality of other board built-in gates GIP located on the opposite side of the gate line GL may be arranged in opposite directions. The board built-in gate GIP of one or both of the above may transmit the gate signal via the gate line GL.
在這些板內建閘極GIP與三角形基板412的第二側412b之間可配置一接地線GND、一時脈配線CLK以及一閘極電壓輸送線VGL，並且在這些板內建閘極GIP與主動區A/A的像素P之間可配置多個共用配線Vcom。然而，這些配線的配置方式可有多樣化的改變，例如板內建閘極GIP、接地線GND、時脈配線CLK與共用配線Vcom都為斜向設置。接地線GND、時脈配線CLK、閘極電壓輸送線VGL、共用配線Vcom以及板內建閘極GIP的斜向設置方式可取決於三角形基板412的形狀。在部分實施例中，當三角形基板412具有正三角形形狀時，接地線GND、時脈配線CLK、閘極電壓輸送線VGL、共用配線Vcom以及板內建閘極GIP可沿著平行於三角形基板412之第二側412b或第三側412c的方向斜向配置。A ground line GND, a clock line CLK, and a gate voltage transmission line VGL may be disposed between the gate built-in gate GIP and the second side 412b of the triangular substrate 412, and the gate GIP and the active are built in the boards. A plurality of common wirings Vcom may be disposed between the pixels P of the area A/A. However, the arrangement of these wirings can be variously changed, for example, the built-in gate GIP, the ground line GND, the clock wiring CLK and the common wiring Vcom are arranged obliquely. The oblique arrangement of the ground line GND, the clock line CLK, the gate voltage transfer line VGL, the common line Vcom, and the board built-in gate GIP may depend on the shape of the triangular substrate 412. In some embodiments, when the triangular substrate 412 has an equilateral triangle shape, the ground line GND, the clock line CLK, the gate voltage transfer line VGL, the common line Vcom, and the board built-in gate GIP may be parallel to the triangular substrate 412. The direction of the second side 412b or the third side 412c is obliquely arranged.
在本實施例中，每個板內建閘極GIP皆具有一高度a，並且三角形基板412具有正三角形形狀。這些板內建閘極GIP自第一端A(第二側412b的第一端)朝向第三端C(第二側412b的第二端)斜向排列。詳細來說，這些板內建閘極GIP以由三角形基板412的第二側412b向內之a/b的傾斜度斜向排列(a與b皆為大於0的實數)。在部分實施例中，當板內建閘極GIP沿著平行於第三側412c的方向斜向排列時，這些板內建閘極GIP自第二端B(第三側412c的第一端)朝向第三端C(第三側412c的第二端)斜向排列，並且這些板內建閘極GIP以由三角形基板412的第三側412c向內之a/b的傾斜度排列。In this embodiment, each of the board built-in gate GIPs has a height a, and the triangular substrate 412 has an equilateral triangle shape. These board built-in gate GIPs are arranged diagonally from the first end A (the first end of the second side 412b) toward the third end C (the second end of the second side 412b). In detail, the in-board gate GIPs are arranged diagonally by the inward a/b slope of the second side 412b of the triangular substrate 412 (both a and b are real numbers greater than zero). In some embodiments, when the in-board gate GIPs are diagonally aligned in a direction parallel to the third side 412c, the plates have built-in gate GIPs from the second end B (the first end of the third side 412c) The third end C (the second end of the third side 412c) is obliquely aligned, and the plate built-in gates GIP are arranged at an inclination of a/b inward from the third side 412c of the triangular substrate 412.
上述傾斜度中的數值b係根據三角形基板412的三角形形狀而決定。舉例來說，當三角形基板412具有正三角形形狀時，接地線GND、時脈配線CLK、共用配線Vcom以及板內建閘極GIP可沿相對於第一側412a夾60度角的方向斜向配置。在本實施例中，板內建閘極GIP自第一端A朝向第三端C以由第二側412b向內之a/√3的傾斜度斜向排列，但本發明並不以此為限。The value b in the above inclination is determined according to the triangular shape of the triangular substrate 412. For example, when the triangular substrate 412 has an equilateral triangle shape, the ground line GND, the clock wiring CLK, the common wiring Vcom, and the board built-in gate GIP may be disposed obliquely in a direction of 60 degrees with respect to the first side 412a. . In this embodiment, the in-board gate GIP is arranged obliquely from the first end A toward the third end C at an inclination of the a/√3 inward from the second side 412b, but the present invention does not limit.
如圖5B所示，一條閘極線GL可用於同時輸送閘極訊號給位於閘極線GL之相對二側的二個像素P。每個板內建閘極GIP的高度a等同於或實質上等同於位於閘極線GL相對二側之二個像素P的寬度。在其他實施例中，閘極訊號經由閘極線GL輸送給僅一個像素P，此時板內建閘極GIP的高度a等同於或實質上等同於此像素P的寬度。As shown in FIG. 5B, a gate line GL can be used to simultaneously deliver gate signals to two pixels P on opposite sides of the gate line GL. The height a of each of the board built-in gate GIPs is equal to or substantially equivalent to the width of two pixels P located on opposite sides of the gate line GL. In other embodiments, the gate signal is delivered to only one pixel P via the gate line GL, at which time the height a of the board built-in gate GIP is equal to or substantially equivalent to the width of the pixel P.
一併參照圖4和圖5B，當採用一條閘極線GL同時輸送閘極訊號給相對二側的二個像素P時，在第二方向上的三個像素P(二側各有3個像素P，即2X3總共6個像素P)可朝向三角形基板412的內部區域斜向排列。這些像素P可和上述之多個板內建閘極GIP以相同的傾斜度排列，或是和上述之多個板內建閘極GIP以相異的傾斜度排列。Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5B, when one gate line GL is used to simultaneously transmit the gate signal to the two pixels P on the opposite sides, three pixels P in the second direction (three pixels on each side) P, that is, 2X3, a total of 6 pixels P) may be arranged obliquely toward the inner region of the triangular substrate 412. The pixels P may be arranged at the same inclination as the plurality of on-board gates GIP described above, or may be arranged at a different inclination from the plurality of on-board gates GIP.
圖6A至圖6C為根據本發明一實施例之具有黑矩陣之顯示裝置的俯視示意圖，其中顯示裝置為液晶顯示裝置。在圖6A中，只繪示出區域Y來表示一部分的主動區和非主動區，其他部分則予以省略。6A-6C are top plan views of a display device having a black matrix, wherein the display device is a liquid crystal display device, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 6A, only the area Y is shown to indicate a part of the active area and the inactive area, and other parts are omitted.
如圖6A所示，圖4的顯示裝置400可為一液晶顯示裝置。在本實施例中，顯示裝置400更包含一黑矩陣BM，並且黑矩陣BM設置於面向顯示面板410的另一基板而對應至非主動區N/A。設有驅動電晶體(TFT)的一驅動區位於主動區A/A以驅動資料線DL、閘極線GL以及像素P。黑矩陣BM可覆蓋非主動區N/A與主動區A/A的驅動區。As shown in FIG. 6A, the display device 400 of FIG. 4 can be a liquid crystal display device. In the present embodiment, the display device 400 further includes a black matrix BM, and the black matrix BM is disposed on another substrate facing the display panel 410 to correspond to the inactive area N/A. A driving region provided with a driving transistor (TFT) is located in the active region A/A to drive the data line DL, the gate line GL, and the pixel P. The black matrix BM can cover the driving area of the inactive area N/A and the active area A/A.
在第一方向延伸的資料線DL與第二方向延伸的閘極線GL相交而形成的區域內的多個像素P當中，包含多個邊界像素PI，其位於主動區A/A與非主動區N/A之間的邊界414上，並且這些邊界像素PI各自包含位於主動區A/A內的主動區部分以及位於非主動區N/A內的非主動部分。進一步來說，當位於邊界414的這些邊界像素PI與主動區A/A內的像素P具有相同的像素結構，有一些邊界像素PI會被邊界414劃分。The plurality of pixels P in the region formed by the intersection of the data line DL extending in the first direction and the gate line GL extending in the second direction include a plurality of boundary pixels PI located in the active area A/A and the inactive area On the boundary 414 between N/A, and these boundary pixels PI each comprise an active area portion located within the active area A/A and an inactive part located within the inactive area N/A. Further, when the boundary pixels PI located at the boundary 414 have the same pixel structure as the pixels P within the active area A/A, some boundary pixels PI are divided by the boundary 414.
如圖6A所示，黑矩陣BM可以覆蓋所有位於邊界414的邊界像素PI。如此一來，黑矩陣BM周邊的形狀可比照邊界像素PI之主動區部分所構成的形狀。As shown in FIG. 6A, the black matrix BM can cover all of the boundary pixels PI at the boundary 414. In this way, the shape of the periphery of the black matrix BM can be compared with the shape of the active region portion of the boundary pixel PI.
如圖6B所示，黑矩陣BM可自非主動區N/A延伸至主動區A/A與非主動區N/A之間的邊界414。在本實施例中，即使位於邊界414的邊界像素PI被邊界414劃分，黑矩陣BM仍僅覆蓋邊界像素PI的非主動區部分。As shown in FIG. 6B, the black matrix BM may extend from the inactive area N/A to a boundary 414 between the active area A/A and the inactive area N/A. In the present embodiment, even if the boundary pixel PI located at the boundary 414 is divided by the boundary 414, the black matrix BM covers only the inactive area portion of the boundary pixel PI.
換句話說，在這些像素P當中，位於最外圍而鄰近於三角形基板412之第二側412b的至少二邊界像素PI可沿第二側412b朝內斜向排列。此外，位於最外圍而鄰近於三角形基板412之第三側412c的至少二邊界像素PI可沿第三側412c朝內斜向排列。In other words, among the pixels P, at least two boundary pixels PI located at the outermost periphery and adjacent to the second side 412b of the triangular substrate 412 may be arranged obliquely inward along the second side 412b. Furthermore, at least two boundary pixels PI located at the outermost periphery adjacent to the third side 412c of the triangular substrate 412 may be arranged obliquely inwardly along the third side 412c.
在本實施例中，黑矩陣BM斜向覆蓋位於最外圍而鄰近於第二側412b與第三側412c之邊界像素PI的至少一部份。因此，主動區A/A與非主動區N/A之間的邊界414匹配於黑矩陣BM的傾斜線，但本發明並不以此為限。在其他實施例中，邊界414可不匹配於黑矩陣BM的傾斜線。In the present embodiment, the black matrix BM obliquely covers at least a portion of the boundary pixel PI located at the outermost periphery and adjacent to the second side 412b and the third side 412c. Therefore, the boundary 414 between the active area A/A and the inactive area N/A matches the oblique line of the black matrix BM, but the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the boundary 414 may not match the oblique line of the black matrix BM.
如圖6C所示，假設有三個像素P在第二方向上總共具有寬度W，有二個像素P分別位於一條閘極線的相對二端並且在第一方向上具有高度H。如此一來，當黑矩陣BM覆蓋部份邊界像素PI時(參照圖6A、6B)，對於黑矩陣BM的傾斜線、寬度W與高度H分別為斜邊、鄰邊、對邊的一直角三角形，黑矩陣BM的傾斜線與平行第一側412a之水平參考線之間的夾角q即為該直角三角形的反正切函數(即，q = tan-1 (H/W))。在本實施例中，當三個像素P在第二方向上的寬度W等於D時，二個像素P的高度H可小於或等於2D。因此，本實施例的夾角q具體數值可小於或等於63.4度。在其他實施例中，當三角形基板412具有正三角形形狀時，黑矩陣BM的傾斜線與平行第一側412a之水平參考線之間的夾角q可為60度，但本發明並不以此為限。As shown in FIG. 6C, it is assumed that three pixels P have a total width W in the second direction, and two pixels P are respectively located at opposite ends of one gate line and have a height H in the first direction. In this way, when the black matrix BM covers the partial boundary pixel PI (refer to FIGS. 6A and 6B), the oblique line, the width W, and the height H of the black matrix BM are oblique triangles, adjacent sides, and opposite triangles, respectively. The angle q between the oblique line of the black matrix BM and the horizontal reference line of the parallel first side 412a is the arctangent function of the right triangle (ie, q = tan -1 (H/W)). In the present embodiment, when the width W of the three pixels P in the second direction is equal to D, the height H of the two pixels P may be less than or equal to 2D. Therefore, the specific value of the angle q of the embodiment may be less than or equal to 63.4 degrees. In other embodiments, when the triangular substrate 412 has an equilateral triangle shape, the angle q between the oblique line of the black matrix BM and the horizontal reference line of the parallel first side 412a may be 60 degrees, but the present invention does not limit.
由於黑矩陣BM以上述方式斜向配置，故位於主動區A/A與非主動區N/A之間的邊界414附近之黑矩陣BM並不會有明顯的階梯狀圖案產生。Since the black matrix BM is obliquely arranged in the above manner, the black matrix BM located near the boundary 414 between the active area A/A and the inactive area N/A does not have a significant step pattern.
圖7A與圖7B為根據本發明另一實施例之具有黑矩陣之顯示裝置的俯視示意圖，其中顯示裝置為液晶顯示裝置。7A and 7B are top plan views of a display device having a black matrix according to another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the display device is a liquid crystal display device.
參照圖7A與圖7B，對於在邊界414的邊界像素PI，位於最外圍而鄰近第二側412b或第三側412c的至少一邊界像素PI具有多個角隅部。這些角隅部的頂點相連而定義出一對角線。黑矩陣BM的傾斜線(即等同於主動區A/A與非主動區N/A之間的邊界414)可平行於此對角線。Referring to FIGS. 7A and 7B, for the boundary pixel PI at the boundary 414, at least one boundary pixel PI located at the outermost periphery and adjacent to the second side 412b or the third side 412c has a plurality of corner portions. The vertices of these corners are connected to define a pair of corner lines. The oblique line of the black matrix BM (i.e., equivalent to the boundary 414 between the active area A/A and the inactive area N/A) may be parallel to this diagonal.
舉例來說，如圖7A所示，位於最外圍而鄰近第二側412b或第三側412c之多個邊界像素PI各自具有二個角隅部，並且這些角隅部的頂點相連而定義出對角線。黑矩陣BM的傾斜線可平行於此對角線，或是黑矩陣BM的傾斜線可與此對角線重疊一致。藉此，每個邊界像素PI至少有一半可被黑矩陣BM覆蓋。For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, a plurality of boundary pixels PI located at the outermost periphery and adjacent to the second side 412b or the third side 412c each have two corners, and the vertices of the corners are connected to define a pair. Corner line. The oblique line of the black matrix BM may be parallel to the diagonal line, or the oblique line of the black matrix BM may overlap with the diagonal line. Thereby, at least half of each boundary pixel PI can be covered by the black matrix BM.
在另一個例子中，如圖7B所示，位於最外圍而鄰近第二側412b或第三側412c之多個邊界像素PI當中，以第一方向上的每二個邊界像素PI為一組，每組邊界像素PI皆具有二個角隅部，並且這些角隅部的頂點相連而定義出對角線。黑矩陣BM的傾斜線可平行於此對角線，或是黑矩陣BM的傾斜線可與此對角線重疊一致。藉此，每一組邊界像素PI至少有一半可被黑矩陣BM覆蓋。In another example, as shown in FIG. 7B, among the plurality of boundary pixels PI located at the outermost periphery and adjacent to the second side 412b or the third side 412c, each of the two boundary pixels PI in the first direction is a group. Each set of boundary pixels PI has two corners, and the vertices of these corners are connected to define a diagonal line. The oblique line of the black matrix BM may be parallel to the diagonal line, or the oblique line of the black matrix BM may overlap with the diagonal line. Thereby, at least half of each set of boundary pixels PI can be covered by the black matrix BM.
雖然在上述例子中，與黑矩陣BM之傾斜線相平行的對角線，係由位於最外圍而鄰近第二側412b或第三側412c之一個邊界像素PI或一組(二個)邊界像素PI的角隅部頂點相連所形成，但本發明並不以此為限。在其他實施例中，可以是每三個邊界像素PI或更多個邊界像素PI為一組，並且每組邊界像素PI的二個角隅部的頂點相連而定義出對角線。藉此，每一組邊界像素PI至少有一半可被黑矩陣BM覆蓋。Although in the above example, the diagonal line parallel to the oblique line of the black matrix BM is a boundary pixel PI or a set of (two) boundary pixels located at the outermost periphery adjacent to the second side 412b or the third side 412c The corners of the corners of the PI are connected, but the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, each of the three boundary pixels PI or more of the boundary pixels PI may be a group, and the vertices of the two corners of each set of boundary pixels PI are connected to define a diagonal line. Thereby, at least half of each set of boundary pixels PI can be covered by the black matrix BM.
如圖7A與圖7B所示，當黑矩陣BM的傾斜線通過邊界像素PI的對角線並且基板412具有三角形形狀時，像素P根據此三角形形狀而具有特定的長寬比。舉例來說，位於最外圍而鄰近第二側412b或第三側412c之每個像素P具有沿第一方向的第一長度d與沿第二方向的第二長度c。當基板412具有正三角形形狀時，第二長度c與第一長度d的比值為1：(√3)/n，其中n為位於三角形基板412之最外圍並且黑矩陣BM的傾斜線通過之邊界像素PI的最小數量。然而，本發明並不以此為限。As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, when the oblique line of the black matrix BM passes through the diagonal of the boundary pixel PI and the substrate 412 has a triangular shape, the pixel P has a specific aspect ratio according to the triangular shape. For example, each pixel P located at the outermost periphery adjacent to the second side 412b or the third side 412c has a first length d in the first direction and a second length c in the second direction. When the substrate 412 has an equilateral triangle shape, the ratio of the second length c to the first length d is 1: (√3)/n, where n is the outermost periphery of the triangular substrate 412 and the oblique line of the black matrix BM passes the boundary The minimum number of pixels PI. However, the invention is not limited thereto.
舉例來說，如圖7A所示，當黑矩陣BM的傾斜線通過之邊界像素PI的最小數量為1，n = 1。如圖7B所示，當黑矩陣BM的傾斜線通過之邊界像素PI的最小數量為2，n = 2。For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, the minimum number of boundary pixels PI passing through the oblique line of the black matrix BM is 1, n = 1. As shown in FIG. 7B, the minimum number of boundary pixels PI passing through the oblique line of the black matrix BM is 2, n = 2.
由於黑矩陣BM之傾斜線能以上述方式調整斜率，故位於主動區A/A與非主動區N/A之間的邊界414附近之黑矩陣BM並不會有明顯的階梯狀圖案產生。Since the slope of the black matrix BM can adjust the slope in the above manner, the black matrix BM located near the boundary 414 between the active area A/A and the inactive area N/A does not have a significant step pattern.
圖8為根據本發明一實施例之位於主動區與非主動區之間的邊界上之像素的成像處理示意圖。在圖8中，多個像素P位於顯示面板410之主動區A/A內的一邊緣區域416，並且這些位於邊緣區域416的像素P也有部分位於於主動區A/A與非主動區N/A之間的邊界414上。這些像素P會進行成像處理，以防止邊界414上產生可辨識出的階梯狀圖案。舉例來說，在邊緣區域416內的像素P可具有相對較低的亮度。圖9為根據本發明一實施例之顯示裝置位於中央區域與對角區域之像素的相對亮度示意圖。如圖9所示，主動區A/A靠近中央位置(中央區域)的像素P有較高亮度，並且邊緣區域416(對角區域)內的像素P具有較低亮度。FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of imaging processing of pixels located on a boundary between an active area and an inactive area according to an embodiment of the invention. In FIG. 8, a plurality of pixels P are located in an edge region 416 in the active area A/A of the display panel 410, and the pixels P located in the edge region 416 are also partially located in the active area A/A and the inactive area N/. On the boundary 414 between A. These pixels P are subjected to an imaging process to prevent an identifiable stepped pattern from being produced on the boundary 414. For example, pixel P within edge region 416 can have a relatively low brightness. FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing relative brightness of pixels of a display device in a central area and a diagonal area according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 9, the pixels P of the active area A/A near the center position (central area) have higher brightness, and the pixels P in the edge area 416 (diagonal area) have lower brightness.
具體來說，在邊緣區域416內並且鄰近第二側412b與第三側412c的像素P相較於位於中央區域的像素P可具有較低亮度。在本實施例中，在邊緣區域416內並且鄰近第二側412b與第三側412c的像素P，其亮度自邊緣區域416的內側至外側逐漸減少或是以階梯式遞減。在圖9中，位於中央區域的像素P具有100%亮度，在邊緣區域416內並且鄰近第二側412b與第三側412c的像素P具有50%亮度，但此具體數值並非用以限制本發明。在其他實施例中，在邊緣區域416內並且鄰近第二側412b與第三側412c的像素P可具有小於100%之任意百分比的亮度。In particular, pixel P within edge region 416 and adjacent second side 412b and third side 412c may have lower brightness than pixel P located in the central region. In the present embodiment, the brightness of the pixel P in the edge region 416 and adjacent to the second side 412b and the third side 412c gradually decreases from the inside to the outside of the edge region 416 or decreases in a stepwise manner. In FIG. 9, the pixel P located in the central region has 100% brightness, and the pixel P in the edge region 416 and adjacent to the second side 412b and the third side 412c has 50% brightness, but this specific value is not intended to limit the present invention. . In other embodiments, the pixels P within the edge region 416 and adjacent the second side 412b and the third side 412c may have an arbitrary percentage of brightness less than 100%.
在本發明中，根據顯示裝置400的使用狀況與類型，可適當選擇在邊緣區域416內之像素P的數量、亮度減少幅度(Reduction Rate)以及最靠近第二側412b或第三側412c之像素P的亮度。In the present invention, the number of pixels P in the edge region 416, the reduction rate of the brightness, and the pixel closest to the second side 412b or the third side 412c can be appropriately selected according to the use condition and type of the display device 400. The brightness of P.
圖10與圖11為根據本發明又另一實施例之顯示裝置的俯視示意圖。10 and 11 are top plan views of a display device according to still another embodiment of the present invention.
如圖10所示，本實施例提供一顯示裝置500，包含一顯示面板510、一驅動驅動模組520以及一連接器530。像素P設置於資料線DL與閘極線GL相交所圍出的區域內，並且像素P可具有三角形形狀。As shown in FIG. 10, the display device 500 includes a display panel 510, a driving driver module 520, and a connector 530. The pixel P is disposed in a region surrounded by the intersection of the data line DL and the gate line GL, and the pixel P may have a triangular shape.
對於在第二方向上之相鄰的其中二個三角形像素P，此二個三角形像素P沿相反方向排列而構成一平行四邊形。藉此，在主動區與非主動區之間的邊界附近不會有明顯的階梯狀圖案產生。For two of the adjacent triangular pixels P in the second direction, the two triangular pixels P are arranged in opposite directions to form a parallelogram. Thereby, there is no obvious step-like pattern generation near the boundary between the active area and the inactive area.
多個資料線DL相對於第一方向斜向排列。多個閘極線GL沿第二方向排列，並且閘極線GL平行於第二方向。The plurality of data lines DL are arranged obliquely with respect to the first direction. The plurality of gate lines GL are arranged in the second direction, and the gate lines GL are parallel to the second direction.
像素P的三角形形狀可相似於基板512的三角形形狀，但本發明並不以此為限。在其他實施例中，當基板512具有正三角形形狀時，像素P同樣具有正三角形形狀。The triangular shape of the pixel P may be similar to the triangular shape of the substrate 512, but the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, when the substrate 512 has an equilateral triangle shape, the pixel P also has an equilateral triangle shape.
如圖11所示，沿著第二方向排列的三個像素P與沿著第一方向排列的另一個像素P共同構成三角形形狀。在本實施例中，上述沿著第二方向排列的三個像素P分別為藍光像素、綠光像素與白光像素，並且上述沿著第一方向排列的像素P為紅光像素。所述藍光、綠光、白光與紅光可表示單一色光。As shown in FIG. 11, three pixels P arranged in the second direction together with another pixel P arranged along the first direction constitute a triangular shape. In this embodiment, the three pixels P arranged along the second direction are blue light pixels, green light pixels, and white light pixels, respectively, and the pixels P arranged along the first direction are red light pixels. The blue, green, white, and red light may represent a single color of light.
圖12為根據本發明一實施例之顯示裝置被驅動時位於顯示裝置中之像素的液晶配向層以及液晶配向方向的示意圖，其中顯示裝置為液晶顯示裝置。FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of a liquid crystal alignment layer of a pixel located in a display device and a liquid crystal alignment direction when the display device is driven according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the display device is a liquid crystal display device.
如圖12所示，圖10的顯示裝置500可為一液晶顯示裝置。像素P包含在第二方向上相鄰的二第一像素P1以及在第二方向上相鄰的二第二像素P2，並且第一像素P1與第二像素P2皆為液晶單元。對於相鄰的第一像素P1與第二像素P2，對應第一像素P1的液晶配向層519與對應第二像素P2的液晶配向層519，兩者的配向方向可彼此相異。藉此，當驅動顯示裝置500時，對應第一像素P1的液晶518與對應第二像素P2的液晶518會轉向不同方向，而使第一像素P1與第二像素P2可在不同區塊(Domain)運作。As shown in FIG. 12, the display device 500 of FIG. 10 can be a liquid crystal display device. The pixel P includes two first pixels P1 adjacent in the second direction and two second pixels P2 adjacent in the second direction, and the first pixel P1 and the second pixel P2 are both liquid crystal cells. For the adjacent first pixel P1 and second pixel P2, the alignment direction of the liquid crystal alignment layer 519 corresponding to the first pixel P1 and the liquid crystal alignment layer 519 corresponding to the second pixel P2 may be different from each other. Therefore, when the display device 500 is driven, the liquid crystal 518 corresponding to the first pixel P1 and the liquid crystal 518 corresponding to the second pixel P2 are turned in different directions, so that the first pixel P1 and the second pixel P2 can be in different blocks (Domain ) Operation.
圖13為根據本發明又另一實施例之顯示裝置之部分顯示面板的俯視示意圖。FIG. 13 is a top plan view of a portion of a display panel of a display device in accordance with still another embodiment of the present invention.
如圖13所示，本實施例提供一顯示裝置600，並且顯示裝置600更包含一資料墊單元619b以及一資料連結線單元619。資料墊單元619b包含多個資料墊。這些資料墊設置於靠近三角形基板612之第一側612a，並且位於顯示裝置600的非主動區N/A內。資料連結線單元619包含多個資料連結線619a。這些資料連結線619a與資料墊單元619b以及多條資料線DL相連接。這些資料連結線619a可具有相同長度。As shown in FIG. 13, the present embodiment provides a display device 600, and the display device 600 further includes a data pad unit 619b and a data link line unit 619. The data pad unit 619b includes a plurality of data pads. These data pads are disposed adjacent the first side 612a of the triangular substrate 612 and are located within the inactive area N/A of the display device 600. The data link line unit 619 includes a plurality of data link lines 619a. These data link lines 619a are connected to the data pad unit 619b and the plurality of data lines DL. These data link lines 619a may have the same length.
在資料連結線單元619的多條資料連結線619a當中，位於資料連結線單元619之中央區域的資料連結線619a呈鋸齒狀(Zigzag)配置於顯示裝置600的非主動區N/A內。藉此，位於中央區域的資料連結線619a以及位於外周圍的資料連結線619a，兩者自資料墊單元619b至資料線DL的長度可彼此相同。Among the plurality of data connection lines 619a of the data connection line unit 619, the data connection line 619a located in the central region of the data connection line unit 619 is arranged in a zigzag manner in the inactive area N/A of the display device 600. Thereby, the data link line 619a located in the central area and the data link line 619a located at the outer periphery can be the same length from the data pad unit 619b to the data line DL.
然而，由於在三角形基板612上的這些資料線DL的長度自三角形基板612的中央區域朝向三角形基板612的周圍區域逐漸減少，資料連結線619a與資料線DL在中央區域的總長度(即資料連結線619a的長度+資料線DL的長度)會短於在外周圍區域的總長度。如此一來，資料線DL在中央區域的線路電阻會大於在外周圍區域的線路電阻。However, since the lengths of the data lines DL on the triangular substrate 612 gradually decrease from the central area of the triangular substrate 612 toward the surrounding area of the triangular substrate 612, the total length of the data connection line 619a and the data line DL in the central area (ie, data link) The length of the line 619a + the length of the data line DL) will be shorter than the total length of the outer surrounding area. As a result, the line resistance of the data line DL in the central area will be greater than the line resistance in the outer surrounding area.
圖14為根據本發明又另一實施例之顯示裝置之部分顯示面板的俯視示意圖。FIG. 14 is a top plan view of a portion of a display panel of a display device in accordance with still another embodiment of the present invention.
如圖14所示，本實施例提供一顯示裝置700，並且顯示裝置700更包含一資料墊單元719b以及一資料連結線單元719。資料墊單元719b包含多個資料墊。這些資料墊設置於靠近三角形基板712之第一側712a，並且位於非主動區N/A內。資料連結線單元719包含多個資料連結線719a。這些資料連結線719a與資料墊單元719b以及多條資料線DL相連接。這些資料連結線719a的長度自第一側712a的第一端A朝向第一側712a的中心逐漸減少，並且自第一側712a的中心朝向第一側712a的第二端B再逐漸增加。換句話說，位於資料連結線單元719之外周圍區域之資料連結線719a的長度會大於位於資料連結線單元719之中央區域之資料連結線719a的長度。As shown in FIG. 14, the present embodiment provides a display device 700, and the display device 700 further includes a data pad unit 719b and a data link line unit 719. The data pad unit 719b includes a plurality of data pads. These data pads are placed adjacent to the first side 712a of the triangular substrate 712 and are located within the inactive area N/A. The data link line unit 719 includes a plurality of data link lines 719a. These data link lines 719a are connected to the data pad unit 719b and the plurality of data lines DL. The length of these data link lines 719a gradually decreases from the first end A of the first side 712a toward the center of the first side 712a, and gradually increases from the center of the first side 712a toward the second end B of the first side 712a. In other words, the length of the data link line 719a located in the surrounding area outside the data link line unit 719 is greater than the length of the data link line 719a located in the central area of the data link line unit 719.
配合上述資料連結線719a的長度分布，由於在三角形基板712上的這些資料線DL的長度自三角形基板612的中央區域朝向三角形基板712的周圍區域逐漸減少，資料連結線619a與資料線DL在中央區域的總長度會與於在外周圍區域的總長度一致。如此一來，於主動區A/A內，資料線DL在中央區域的線路電阻會等同於在外周圍區域的線路電阻。In conjunction with the length distribution of the data connection line 719a, since the length of the data lines DL on the triangular substrate 712 gradually decreases from the central area of the triangular substrate 612 toward the surrounding area of the triangular substrate 712, the data connection line 619a and the data line DL are in the center. The total length of the area will be the same as the total length of the outer surrounding area. As a result, in the active area A/A, the line resistance of the data line DL in the central area is equivalent to the line resistance in the outer surrounding area.
